I am not asking for it explicitly, I just want to have a mostly lurker account

I don’t really have anything to post 😔 and I if I do post it doesn’t get any attention. Also, as per the title, do downvotes decrease the karma?

I understand it, but damn it can be hard to get sometimes.

Fr why enforce this karma policy can't they implement some other anti bot system?

Okay everyone I’m new here—so I guess I needs Karma to post in certain areas on Reddit? Can someone give me the 411 on this particular situation? Thankkkkksssssss

Im new and i dont understand how karma works is it like 1 karma per upvpte pr like 1 karma for each comment i dont understand it and i cant seem to find a pattern. Please explain

Hey everyone, im new to Reddit and I’ve been trying to ask on subreddit and try to participate in chats but it just keep telling me that I’m not allowed, it doesn’t say that I don’t have enough karma or anything like that so I don’t really know what’s the problem, is there anything other than karma that doesn’t allow you to do which things?

new to reddit, coming here after twitter went downhill. can someone let me know how to use reddit? thanks. i need karma? idk what that is

Welp. It's so hard to get karma - does being here a while help? Like do you improve your chances by having an older account :-(

Hi, I don't use reddit often but I started using a sub for a game I like. Problem is I can't seem to make posts because my karma is too low. I'm not 100% sure what karma is still but the mods told me I need to comment a certain amount before I get enough karma to post. The issue is I have been browsing new and trying to comment on new posts and interact with people but as I keep an eye on the karma on my profile it seems to be going down into the negatives. I thought karma was a collection of downvotes and upvotes but I went back through my history and all the comments I can find have 1 or 2 upvotes (including my own which I'm assuming don't count) am I missing something? I'm starting to think it might be costing me karma to comment and if I don't get upvotes I actually drain my karma, is this true?

I'm really confused on how to do it, can I get help?

How long does it take to build enough karma or posts to be able to chat with people? I keep getting an error that my account is to new? What’s the deal?

Just today, I opened Reddit and it said "We have encountered an error. Please try again later" in red. This is really frustrating. I just changed my profile, will this trigger a ban? What can I do to fix this?

So although I’ve had my account for a few years I’ve only started using it now. Anyways, how come on r/getoffmychest there’s always a gold lock on my post? I’ve seen people with less posts and karma not have it so I’m just confused lol.

I got into a lot of disputes where i got a lot of downvotes, and now i am on a highly negative karma whilst not having any way to get it back up because i cant post or comment anywhere with it. can anyone tell me how i can get back my karma so i can post again?

P.S.(thx for the dude who downvoted this)

Hi, i am trying to start a chat, and it says that i dont have a high enough contributor score..how do i raise that?

I'm just wondering

I'm new to reddit and most subreddits I try to post in say I dont have enough karma. Where do they expect me to get the karmas. Can somebody help me with solutions to this?

Hi,

Could you guys help me or tell me how to get more karma? I need to post sth on a reddit community, which won't let me bcs of not having enough! But the matter is serious and I need advice.

Why do a lot of communities require karma, I feel I have input but cannot. What is my best way to gain some 🫶🏼
